Black Sabbath, Journey Getting Cover Treatment by T-Pain on New LP

Black Sabbath and Journey are among a diverse roster of artists being covered on an upcoming album from rapper T-Pain.

According to Billboard, the album is titled On Top of the Covers and it's due out March 17. What makes the album so unique is that T-Pain, who's known for his use of Auto-Tune, will be recording these covers without Auto-Tune.

As for the Black Sabbath and Journey songs, T-Pain is going to tackle "War Pigs" and "Don't Stop Believin'," respectively. Other songs set to be covered include Frank Sinatra's "That's Life," Sam Cooke's "A Change Is Gonna Come" and Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show's "Sharing The Night Together."

Black Sabbath released their second album, Paranoid, in America on September 18, 1970. A bit tighter than their self-titled debut, which came out earlier in the year, Paranoid's title track became their biggest radio hit in America. The album also had "Luke's Wall/War Pigs" and "Iron Man," But the 41-minute album didn't waste a second: it's a perfect album.

In fact, seven of the eight songs made our list that we put together. Here, we decided to stick with songs from the Ozzy eras of the band: 1970's debut album (and the "Evil Woman" single) through 1978's Never Say Die! and also 2013's 13. Yes, we know that they put out two new songs in the '90s, but those didn't come close to making this list. Like Paranoid, this list doesn't waste a moment. The roots of every metal band can be found in these thirty songs.

And yes, Black Sabbath did some incredible stuff with Ozzy's replacement, the late, great Ronnie James Dio. That's probably a list for another day. And yes, both RJD and drummer Vinny Appice should have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with the founding four members: Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, Ozzy Osbourne and Bill Ward.

Speaking of the Rock Hall, you should go back and watch Lars Ulrich and James Hetfield's speeches inducting the band. Hetfield's speech is particularly great. The Metallica frontman said Sabbath helped a "shy boy" find "his own loud voice.

"Those monstrous riffs lived inside him and spoke the feelings he could never put into words," Hetfield said. " ... They helped crack the shell he was stuck in." (He also said scaring his mom and sister was "an extra bonus.")

Without further ado, here's our list of Black Sabbath's 30 best songs from the Ozzy era.
